Résumé
Live varicella vaccine depends on replication of the attenuated virus to generate immunity. Antivirals active against varicella zoster virus can suppress this replication and may blunt the immune response to the vaccine.
Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples
Famciclovir and Varicella virus vaccine live can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Pourquoi elle survient
Famciclovir's active metabolite penciclovir inhibits viral DNA polymerase and may suppress replication of the live attenuated vaccine virus.
Conduite à tenir
Stop famciclovir at least 24 hours before vaccination and avoid restarting it for 14 days afterward if clinically possible. If antiviral therapy is essential, delay the vaccine.
